Oracle "Cloud, triple-digit growth... 8 new regions to open this year"
[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Oracle announced that it will expand its market share this year by expanding data centers and strengthening its 'hybrid cloud' capabilities.
On the 3rd, Oracle held an online press briefing and revealed plans to open 8 additional 'Oracle Cloud Infrastructure' (OCI) regions worldwide by the end of this year. Oracle currently operates 30 data centers globally. In South Korea, it operates multiple regions in Seoul and Chuncheon.
Tom Song, President of Oracle Korea, said, "The number of customers adopting and utilizing OCI and the actual cloud usage rate have both increased by triple digits compared to last year," adding, "We believe the trust in Oracle Cloud has increased due to proven stability and price competitiveness."
According to Oracle, currently 32 out of the top 50 domestic companies, including Hana Financial Group and HMM, have migrated their systems to Oracle Cloud and are operating them.
Cloud adoption has also been successful among mid-sized and small enterprises across industries such as HSD Engine, Hanaro TNS, Chorokmaeul, and Namuga.
Oracle plans to target the market by newly recruiting cloud management service provider (MSP) partners. It also expressed its ambition to grow alongside customers through the 'Oracle Academy,' which offers free training on advanced data innovation technologies.
Oracle explained that it is providing more diverse options to enterprise customers based on 'hybrid cloud.'
Hybrid cloud is a server environment that combines 'public cloud,' which uses external infrastructure, with 'private cloud' or 'on-premises,' which utilize internal infrastructure.
